Weren't these the same people who bought Teslas to show how they're being good little global citizens and saving the whales by lowering their heckin carbon footprints?

Now apparently Teslas are Nazi Cars (TM)?
Yep! That sounds about right!

If we're lucky, we can watch in real time as they slowly begin to adopt gas guzzling American-made trucks, much like how so many have become very 2A loving after Orange Man won. I bet they'll put their little tranny flag stickers on the back, or turn their truck nuts into-

Y'know? I won't finish that one.
 
The thing is they had those people. Trump was their Trump. But they got pushed out and went to take over rebuild the Republican party. Anyone that could've saved the Democrats have seen the writing on the wall and made the switch to supporting Trump.
In the timeline where the liberals didn't win with Obama maybe Trump would've been their guy. He was Democrat from 2001 to 2009 and then switched back to being Republican (he was a backer for the party from 1987 to 1999 originally), One must remember that in the past he was one of the more prominent people that were skeptical about Barack's American citizenship when that was a politically relevant subject. With that in mind, there were some voters who did go with Obama in 2008 and 2012 but supported Trump in 2016 which is interesting to think about.
 
Government works know they are in a dead end position getting paid below market
That was the agreed upon deal once upon a time - government workers earned less but were compensated for that via job security and pensions. Nowadays? Government workers earn way more than private sector employees while still enjoying the aforesaid superior benefits. As individuals I sympathize with them - losing your job sucks no matter who you are - but as a group they're getting exactly what they deserve.
 
This is going to open a lot of Liberals' eyes (hopefully).
especially because the kind of people who'd wreck these cars are gonna find it a lot easier to get to the liberals than they are to get to the people they actually want to punish.

Honestly, if Obama had been a bit more forward-thinking, he really could have set the democrats up for success. Use the popular mandate to call out the cronyism of the democrats, frame them as racists, and bring them into line for a future facing outlook.

Instead, he focused on being seen as perfect and let hillary go and cut down the ladder behind him.
 
Also, Carville still views Republicans as evil.
Carville is married to a (now former) Republican. To Carville, politics isn't really about any particular policy as it is about building your coalition and winning. Winning is first, and other things are secondary. He worked mainly with the now-completely-dead conservative Democrats, guys who were pro-death-penalty and even pro-life in some cases. He was known to say things like, "Nothing matters if you don't win." It's why his movie is called, "Winning is everything, stupid."

What has Carville completely bewildered is that the Democrats have sacrificed winning on the altar of ideology. To Carville, any particular member of your coalition gets their interests pandered to based on how much they contribute to you winning. In the case of trannies, trannies are a losing issue. Being anti-white-male is a losing issue. So, to him, it's obvious that you drop the tranny crap and man-hate so that you can win, because nothing matters if you don't win.

But of course, the modern Democrats are rigidly ideological, so they've organized their party against ideological fidelity, and seek to use mere tactics to shove unpopular messages and even less popular candidates over the finish line.

Very meritocratic. Tragically, meritocracy is a sin to the democrats as things stand.
 
I skipped like 200 pages, this thread is insanely fast. President Trump‘s wild ride never ends.

Also a reason why I never go with the "world was better when atheism was not a big thing" argument. It was not, its simply that people trusted a guy claiming to speak for the big guy in the sky. Now we have way too much information available at our fingertips for that to fly.
Atheism hasn’t had a positive impact either though, and didn’t really affect the revelations regarding pedos in the pulpit. That was more due to the interconnected nature of the Internet allowing for those abused to actually discuss their experiences without fear of repercussions, as would have been the case even just 30 years ago. Atheism being normalized led to the opposite outcomes, which is the LGBP practicing child sexualization openly.

It feels so fucking good to be entirely vindicated lately. How’s that for a “conspiracy theory” leftists?
The funniest thing is they‘ll just snopes and seethe about how “technically it wasn’t funded by USAID but by some shell corp propped up via USAID money you CONSPIRACY THEORIST.” Always remember, The Science™ is the greatest of all religions to them and we are the CONSPIRATORS who wish to see it crumble. They will lie, they will cheat, and they will attack you for their religion. They’re basically muslims except with syringes instead of swords.
 
us aided funded everything off your tax money.
The funny thing to me is that they didn't even bother making multiple funds.

It's like, they got USAID, got full control over it, and were like

"Ok, just put every corrupt globalist/arch-leftist bullshit program under this particular umbrella. Clearly, we'll NEVER be called out for it or lose power over the system."

Unless there ARE other Slush funds of equivalent or greater size yet to be found. Which might explain why they're so desperate to get a judge to give them access to the systems again, even for a few days. They need to go in and delete a whole lot of emails.
 
Monsanto was one of the agent orange folks, a lot of people never put that together, and i didn't either until a few years ago. Dow Chemical was involved too (DOW jones is call that because dow was one of the og companies that made up the dow jones average)

Evil evil fucks.
Dow Jones is called that, because Charles Dow (Not Herbert Dow of Dow Chemical) and a statistician Edward Jones wanted to create something to measure companies apples to apples as they had different amounts of shares and dividends. Dow Chemical was only on the Dow Jones for a few years recently only after multiple mergers with other companies. But both of the Dow's weren't related. Funny enough the other index, Standard and Poor's is named after a guy named Henry Poor, who kept track of companies similar to Jones did.

Oh I'd bet money on there being other slush funds but the USAID one was central to a lot of their globohomo exportation and even more importantly was how they greased palms to keep people around the world loyal to them.

The Pentagon audits are likely going to reveal shit that makes USAID look like chump change.

Some food for thought is that there is a possibility if Hillary Clinton won in 2008 Trump would've never entered politics. Trump was a Clinton Foundation donor in the mid 2000s, a friend of the family, predicted Hillary would be the Democratic presidential nominee and had defended her husband in the late 1990s during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Here is a photo from the Donald/Melania wedding in 2005:

Here is Trump saying Bill Clinton's impeachment was "nonsense" and that then-President George W. Bush should be punished for false claims about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq:


This is all ancient political history of course but the journey to how America got to where it is today is a fascinating one despite how unpredictable and strange it is at times.

I don't know about Taco Bell but Monsanto will straight-up kill a motherfucker. They're one of the biggest corporate cunts on earth, more responsible for food prices, famines and farmer availability than any other entity on this entire planet.

I'd love to see them taken down a few pegs.
Good news, they don't exist, nor have they for several years.
